The holy books like Shiva Purana, Shiva Parakramam, etc give vivid details of Lord Shiva.There are several images of Shiva like Rudra, Shankra, Nila Kanta, Nataraja, etc. His Violent appearance can be seen as Rudra. He destroys all evil and inauspicious things- living or non-living that can be the reason of destruction. The third eye of Lord Shiva is the powerful eye which can see all the things in Universe and also it is well known for its power as it has burned Kama (desire) to ashes.
Lord Shiva is also known as “Nila Kanta” for He has once drank the poison that came out from the world ocean during the demigods and gods were churning it to get “amrit”. In order to save the whole world from the ill effects of poison, He drank it and His throat turned blue. And it is also believed that to cool himself from the effect of that destructive poison, Shiva wrapped his neck with snakes as cold as ice. However, Lord Shiva appears as a divine cosmic dancer as Nataraja, or The Lord Of Dance where he dances in joy and total abondon with Parvati, His consort .

One of the most distinctive features of Shiva is His matted hair. Ganges, one of the major rivers of India has made her abode in the matted hairs of Shiva. The sacred water of Ganges River flows down from the Shiva’s hair to the Earth so as to avoid flood and calamity as the force of her waters are so strong.
